[edit] Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
Here are some other hints and tips:
- I would recommend that you get a username. You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
- When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.
If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my Talk page, or type {{helpme}} on this talk page and a user will help you as soon as possible. I will answer your questions as far as I can. Again, welcome!
Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian.Sonic3KMaster(talk) 08:16, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome 69.6.162.160
I moved the above from User talk:69.6.162.160 which now redirects to this page. If you have any problem with any of this, say something and I'll change it to what you feel is appropriate. Thanks for joining the Wikipedia community. Communication is really important. So I also added a subsection to Template talk:Flu to tell peaople what's going on. Take care. See you around the 'pedia!

- Thanks, I've been signing in, lately, thinking it might be helpful to me. BTW, I didn't want to use my personal email, but I think maybe an anonymous one I have may work.Brian Pearson 01:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)Brian Pearson

- A few things, if I may be so bold as to presume to play teacher ... The use of ":" at the beginning of a line indents. "::" indents twice. And so on. Such indents say to others that you are responding to an edit with one less indent. It's helpful mostly with several people all talking at once. Use of four of these "~" at the end of a comment on a talk page signs and dates. Or is the comment about "blue" on my talk page about something else?? WAS 4.250 06:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WTF
I can not imagine your reasoning behind this. WAS 4.250 06:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Transclusion
Please read up on Transclusion. WAS 4.250 06:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, I read it. I'm tired to I'll have to read it, again. My reasoning? I just thought to myself, "Why (for example) have a the link, H5N1 on the same page as H5N1?" I'm sure the transclusion idea has good reasoning behind it. Thanks for the link.69.6.162.160 01:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)Brian Pearson
